I am fascinated in libraries and museums around the world and enjoy visiting them on the internet. Have you visited any Renaissance Libraries? They are a magnificent work of art.
Here are just a few:
The Abbey Library, St. Gallen, Switzerland
http://www.stiftsbibliothek.ch/
National Library of St Mark's
http://marciana.venezia.sbn.it/
The National Library of Russia, St. Petersburg, Russia

The Wren Library, Trinity College, Cambridge, England

I love writing about my four legged babies. They are so special to me. Tix is 11 years old and my guide dog is 6. I would be lost without my guide dog. In a crowd she safely takes me to where I need to go. Amazingly all I need to do is ask her to find a particular store even if we haven't been there before and she takes me straight there. Do dogs really know how to read? She astonishes me every time.

Favourite library site on Facebook
As a member of ALIA I was able to gain useful and current knowledge regarding library information. They offered some terrific workshops online which I found helped me in my library workplace
The Library of Congress and Twitter
As a lover of history I fnd the Library of Congress a magnificant site. There is so much to browse through I find I am on there for ages. I generally enter the blog site from the twitter page as I find some of the comments interesting.

State Library of Victoria
I am a member of the SLV however have never visited it although I plan to in the future. I'll need about a week to see it all since the collections and building are of great interest to me.

Doggies talking
I just had to add this to my site as it is so typical of my doggies talking to me with those sorrowful eyes.
The devastation of this dogs face is exactly what my two do. They just know how to break your heart!

Gloomy Weather
My four legged baby guide dog is very sad today due to the gloomy weather outside. Can't go out for walkies!
